The other week I finally picked up a bottle of Old Grand Dad. That was one I'd been meaning to try for some time, but always walked away with something else. I'm glad I finally picked up a bottle since I really enjoyed it.

Then the other night, after many many months of putting it off, I went home with a bottle of Rare Breed tucked under my arm and a grin on my face. Easily one of my favorite bourbons and I'm glad to have another bottle on my shelf. It had been about 18 mos. since the last I had had any RB due to buying and trying other bourbons. I decided it had been long enough. After my purchase, I made my way home in the cold rain, at some homemade chicken pot-pie, then sat by the fireplace with a cigar and a snifter of this marvelous nectar!

I brought home 2 more bottles of the Four Roses Limited Release small batch (2011). I think its a great bourbon! Also got some Jim Beam Black. I have a bottle of 8 year old Jim Beam that was distilled in 1967 and bottled in 1975. I want to compare the current version with the older version

took an international flight this weekend so checked duty free and while WT 8 year has gone up $7 a liter, they had WT 12 year at $40 which I hadn't seen in Boston Logan last year when I went through there a few times.
